Birth Control Problems

Patient

Q: I have changed my birth control pills several times because they have significantly decreased my sex drive. I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome at 16 and since then have been on Yasmin, Ocella, LoEstrin24 and Monocyclin. I finally found a birth control method that works for me (NuvaRing) however it is way too expensive. Is there any kind of pill method that has the same type of hormone release as NuvaRing?
